Hi, Does anybody know how to add a direct IPv6 host route that actually works? What I mean is not through a gateway, but for one directly reachable. I know it normally isn't needed because it will just work, but I'm trying to add FreeBSD IPv6 capability to net/olsrd. It looks like I have most of the rest working, but this is one of the last things tripping me up. I have played for most of the morning with various incantations of "route add -inet6 -host ..." and just get various non working routes. For my test I have the machines configured on the same IPv6 subnet and without adding anything special I can ping them, but not after adding a route. The reason they (the olsr guys) do it is so that a router can have multiple WiFi interfaces all configured on the same subnet. Then when they get comms with a machine, they can add a route to it through that interface. At the moment I'm not even at the point of trying to get multiple interfaces on the same subnet working, although I would like to do that in the future. It would help if you have a high-site with multiple antennas and radios. So anybody that know how to add a direct IPv6 host route on FreeBSD? Thanks.
